simple pleasures, pleasing judgments
given my post a fortnight ago regarding criticism and abuse of umpires, a story this week gave me no end of joy.
st. george illawarra league coach nathan brown this week said that "ever since they booed him (Steve Clark) off the field and threw a bucket of pee over him here (Kogarah), we get hammered by Clarkey every time... we're getting judged harsher than other sides" (SMH, 8/8/2006).
result? $15,000 fine from the NRL, whose CEO David Gallop said that "it is incorrect and inappropriate to accuse a referee of bias".
damn straight.
now, on to other more important matters. there are some memories of my childhood that live on for many years. do you remember iced vo-vos? it's not hard, i guess, because they're still around, only in a different form:
you've got to be kidding me. call that an iced vo-vo?? where is the marshmallow? i'm not talking about that pathetic thin strip above the wafer, i'm talking about the mallow balls that where the hallmarks of the classic biscuit of my childhood, as well as the childhood of many of you out there.but, last week, i found that they're back! they go under the alias of strawberry mallows, have a search for them in your local shop. that, and the 100's & 1000's biscuits. then petition arnotts to CHANGE THEIR ICED VO-VOS!!
oh well, if they want to miss out on this traditionalists biscuit dollar, then i say hard cheese!

Ok considering me nickname is VoVo I consider myself a little bit of an authority when it comes to these biscuits. IcedVoVos have all ways been the just pink icing, jam and coconut and the strawberry mallows have always been strawberry mallows. What is a VoVo anyway?
